[Verse 1]
B F# G#m7
I hear the drums echoing tonight
A C#m7 G#m7 A G#m C#m
She hears only whispers of some quiet conversa - tion
B F# G#m7
She's coming in, twelve thirty flight
A C#m7 G#m7 A G#m C#m
The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me toward salva - tion
B F# G#m7
I stopped an old man along the way
A C#m7 G#m7 A G#m C#m
Hoping to find some old forgotten words or ancient melo - dies
B F# G#m7 A G#m C#m
He turned to me as if to say “hurry boy, it's waiting there for you”
[Chorus]
F#m D A E
Gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
F#m D A E
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
F#m D A E
I bless the rains down in Africa
F#m D A C#m C#m7 F#m E A
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had...
A G#m C#m
Ooo Ooo
A G#m C#m
[Verse 2]
B F# G#m
The wild dogs cry out in the night
A C#m7 G#m A G#m C#m
As they grow restless longing for some solitary compa-ny
B F# G#m
I know that I must do what's right
A C#m7 G#m A G#m C#m
As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Ser - engeti
B F# G#m7
I seek to cure what's deep inside
A G#m C#m
Frightened of this thing that I've become
[Chorus]
F#m D A E
Gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
F#m D A E
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
F#m D A E
I bless the rains down in Africa
F#m D A C#m C#m7 F#m E A
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had...
A G#m C#m
Ooo Ooo
A G#m C#m

“hurry boy, she's waiting there for you”
[Outro]
F#m D A E
It’s gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
F#m D A E
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
F#m D A E
I bless the rains down in Africa
F#m D A E
I bless the rains down in Africa
F#m D A E
I bless the rains down in Africa
F#m D A E
I bless the rains down in Africa
F#m D A E
I bless the rains down in Africa
F#m D A C#m C#m7 F#m E A
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had…
A G#m C#m
Ooo Ooo
